Sadly, this is a library issue, a bit hard to workaround:
the underlying glibc and python libraries that format these strings do NOT
take a language argument, but instead rely on the per-process environment
setting of LC_TIME or LANGUAGE.
This means that we might change the global setting of date format for all the
OpenERP server, but cannot specify per-report or per-client locale for dates.
So changing it there cannot be enough :(
